On one hand, Moffat refuses to stop using Clara. On the other, Arya Stark is about to shank a bitch.

Oh, and Daleks. I'm further unenthused.

Hard to tell from a trailer, since they likely cherry picked the coolest/most hypable non-spoiler moments from the whole season.

True, but it does look interesting.

This screenshot certainly looks very interesting, particularly when compared with this one and given that the background looks very suggestive of Karn as seen in Night of the Doctor.

Not to mention that external overhead shot of a city, one that looks somewhat Citadel inspired. Or I'm reading way too much into it.

See, I took it for Skaro, particularly given that the accompanying press release states:

"Meeting monsters old and new the Doctor will come face to face with Missy (played by Michelle Gomez), a city of Daleks, deadly mercenaries called the Mire, terrifying ghosts and far more."

EDIT: Also given that this might just be a classic Dalek lurking in the background.

Reminds me how much I want a meeting of the Eighth Doctor and the Twelfth Doctor.
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

The dramatic singing and lighting just accompany Peter Capaldi wherever he goes.

Just got Enemy of the World on DVD. I've been wanting to for a long time (this, incidentally, is the first old series story I've actually bought). I'll post some comments on it once I've watched it. Looking forward to seeing Troughton play two roles.

It's a great story.

I mean, goofy in the 60s way you'd expect, but well-developed and pretty tense.
